Mr. Ayokunle Fagbemi an Abuja based political scientist has called on the
Federal Government to implement the processes into the determination of
President Muhammadu Buhari's health status.

He made the call in a press
statement made available to SaharaReporters. According to the security expert, his call was informed by the fact
that the Nigerian public has been starved of
information on the President's ill health despite wishing him well and
praying for him.

He explained that President Buhari has spent about 97 days on medical leave this year alone, which is an action
in contravention of the Public Service Rules (PSR).

"The applicable PSR 070316 states that the maximum aggregate sick
leave which can be allowed an officer, who is not hospitalized, during
any period of 12 months shall be 42 calendar days," he said.

On account of overshooting the maximum number of days allowed a
public officer, Mr. Fagbemi reasoned that the situation requires the
appropriate statutory entities to activate the provisions contained in
Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution.

"President Buhari’s absence from duties January 19th - March 10th and May
7th – till date, June 26, 2017, can no longer be justified under the
laws of Nigeria. This is because of the need to apply the 1999
Constitution imposed obligations, which President Buhari and all those
occupying statutory offices swore to, uphold and protect," he argued.

He added that it is now time for the cabal around the President to stop ridiculing President Muhammadu Buhari

The activities of the cabal, he noted, are fast eroding the
credibility and integrity of President Buhari. The scholar commended
President Buhari for complying with the spirit and letters of the constitution,
particularly, Section 145, by transmitting letters to the National
Assembly when traveling out of the country and relinquishing powers to
his deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo

Mr. Fagbemi is of the view that Nigerians are not disappointed in the
President, but in the cabal around him, which he said has mismanaged
the Presidency.

He wondered why members of the cabal have failed to provide a live
audio-visual platform for the President to address Nigerians.

"Nigerians are no longer impressed with transmitted letters
purportedly originating from him. It is time to bring to an end the
adopted socio-political management of cabal politics and the media
spin," he said.

He urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to live up to the dictates of CONTINUE READING
